Keeping Christmas - October 2019

Hello!

TWO MONTHS UNTIL CHRISTMAS!!!

That's 8 WEEKS BEFORE CHRISTMAS!!!

Have you started your Christmas cards?

Whether or not you have, 

check out the

 Keeping Christmas Inspirational Blog Hop!  

If you're unfamiliar with the blog hop, every month on the 25th, the Keeping Christmas Team headed by our fabulous leader, Kelly Lunceford, share lots of wonderful Christmas projects to inspire you and boost your creativity to either begin or add to your Christmas card/paper project stash for Christmas.

I tried a background technique from a Holiday card class by Jennifer McGuire for this card.  I took some gold foil cardstock, stamped the background of trees, One Fine Pine background stamp(Catherine Pooler(CP) Designs) in Versamark and embossed them in Curacao emboss powder (WOW/CP Designs).  Next I used my embossing buddy and wiped over the background again, then took a brush of water to sprinkle water spots and then embossed them with white emboss powder (WOW) for snow.  I adhered the background to a white cardbase.  Then, I stamped the large tree from Christmas Tree Farm(CP Designs) in Garden Party (CP Ink) and used a white Sharpie paint pen to add snow to it.  For the sentiment, I inked up some cardstock in Rockin' Red (CP Inks) then cut out the "Merry" die from the Merry Mini cover plate (CP Designs).  I cut two more from white cardstock and stacked them up to adhere on top of the background and large tree.  Finally I stamped the "Holidays" on white cardstock in Midnight (CP Inks) and bumped it up with foam tape.  

Now see what the rest of the Design Team has created to inspire you by hopping through the list below:
